Summary
- A football team's new shirt honors a boy with a stoma.
- The boy, Jack, has fundraised for stoma patients since 2022.
- His stoma charity logo is featured on the team's new kit.
A local football team has dedicated its new shirt strip to honoring the inspiring journey of a young boy named Jack, who lives with a stoma. Jack, an 11-year-old from Shotton Colliery, had a colostomy bag fitted in 2022 due to intestinal issues. Since then, he has committed himself to fundraising for individuals living with similar conditions.
Recently, the Trimdon Under-8s football team revealed a touching surprise for Jack: their new team shirts will proudly display the logo of 'Jack's Stoma Journey.' This gesture recognizes Jack's courage and advocacy. His former coach, Stu Campbell, described Jack as an inspiration and a hero, recounting instances of Jack's candidness and resilience on the field when managing his stoma, demonstrating remarkable bravery and a positive spirit.
